NASAR has struggled with its priorities because there was no solid future vision for where it wanted to be 3 to 10 years from now. The worst part was since there was no plan, no one could be held accountable for our future, ergo no future.

The existence of NASAR is important for many reasons. For some teams, we are the only reason they can conduct training. There are very few teams out there that can produce textbooks or other products that meet the ASTM standards all on their own (and do it within their current financial position). We are one […]

DEVELOP EFFICIENT VIRTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE In order to keep prices down, we need to use our dollars as effectively and efficiently as possible. We are an international organization, and the more money we save in expenses we get to invest in projects, education, advocacy and publishing to help you.

SAR volunteer responders go out in the middle of the night, in the rain and the cold, and take calculated risks to assist those that cannot help themselves. For that you deserve the best of what we can offer. The best courses, certifications, instructors, evaluators, tools, textbooks, the best everything.

NASAR wants to be the “go to” for SAR. Not just nationally, but internationally as well. In order to be the go to for SAR we have to provide you with some value for coming and a place for us to share. We also need to reach out to you and make you knowledgeable about […]

During August and September the Executive Director developed a draft multi-year strategy and complimentary budget. In October, the Board held two budget workshops where they discussed and edited the presented draft strategy and eventually voted on […]

First I was looking at meeting with international representatives to see if we could expand NASAR courses and examinations to their countries. Second, I was meeting with vendors that are potential advertisers […]
